Everly's thoughts about Ethan being busy and probably not at home for him not to answer his calls became a reality when she got to his house and got no reply after knocking on the door for what seems like hours, the rain still pouring on her non stop.
She increased the intensity at which she banged on the door as she trembled from the cold she felt. After a fruitless knocking on the door still without any response, Everly decided to go back home to have a hot bath and sit by the fireplace without being bothered about what Leo was going to say or do if he saw her.
She was about to turn around and leave when something moved her to try the door knob, and she reached out to it and turned the knob. Immediately, the door knob snapped, and the door pushed opening with a creaking sound.
